I wish I could enjoy commissions, truly. I like people and other people's OCs just fine! I also have crushing social anxiety that paralyzes my brain and makes it nearly impossible to enjoy art until all of my promised projects are done! Therefore I have decided to just not put myself through that.

My biggest challenge as an artist has been figuring out a way to provide something people can pay me for, when I don't enjoy taking commissions. It turns out that when I create paintings or stickers, sometimes people want to buy them! Cool!

This is my character for a Numenera campaign, and Numenera are weird pieces of technology. My boy Zero WORKS on them but he does not fully understand them. Therefore, neither do I. I just draw the things.

There will be other stuff for the exhibition and that's all in the works, so I won't be sharing any of that work here until afterwards. But this wasn't for any of those things, so here it is.

I could NOT work on this without thinking of Gary Larson's "Cow Tools."

There WILL be liberation. It's inevitable. And it might not be tomorrow, or next year, or the next decade. But that better world is coming, and every tiny act of kindness and solidarity you show another human being brings it that much closer.
